Vanessa Haines, Ulf (ENTRIES CLOSED - December theme: Your favourite shot of '25)

I have been obsessed with wolves for the better part of 13 years and have been wishing and dreaming of seeing one for just as long and this year that dream came true, and I was so excited that when I heard wolves howling I started running towards them with the biggest smile on my face. I truly felt so blessed and honoured to have had the opportunity to photograph these animals and am still in disbelief at how amazing they came out, as the sanctuary was closing and my camera battery was flashing red at me letting me know it was dying and I didn't have my spare on me at the time, so this photo is 100% one of my favourites
